On September 11, comrade Trinh Thi Minh Thanh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, inspected the damage and recovery work of storm No. 3 in the sea area of Van Don district and Cam Pha city.
According to preliminary statistics from Van Don district, storm No. 3 has caused severe damage to aquaculture activities at sea, with estimated losses of over VND2,200 billion. Of which, molluscs suffered an estimated loss of over VND1,300 billion; marine fish over VND500 billion; other seafood nearly VND400 billion. In addition, 318 rafts were damaged; nearly 90 boats of all kinds were sunk or broken.
In Cam Pha City, it is estimated that 158/371 aquaculture facilities were damaged by the storm, with total estimated damage of hundreds of billions of VND. After the storm, people in Van Don District and Cam Pha City focused on checking and collecting remaining aquatic products; collecting HDPE buoys floating on the sea; repairing and reinforcing damaged cages.
Checking the actual damage situation and talking with affected aquaculture households, comrade Trinh Thi Minh Thanh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, sympathized and shared the difficulties of the affected families; at the same time, encouraged the families to try to overcome the difficulties at this time, stay calm, and quickly restore farming for the remaining cages that can be repaired and continued farming.
He emphasized that the damage to people's property in aquaculture due to the storm was very large and severe. Therefore, the authorities of Van Don district and Cam Pha city need to promptly mobilize and continue to support people to overcome the consequences; protect the remaining property of the people, help people restore production as soon as possible; continue to count the damaged households, the extent of damage, and from there propose mechanisms and policies to support people.
With the large number of damaged cages and oyster farms, the comrade requested the two localities to guide households and arrange forces to support collection and salvage, avoiding environmental pollution and not affecting inland and national waterways passing through the area. For broken or sunken watercraft with high risk of causing environmental pollution due to oil spills, the two localities need to immediately deploy salvage and containment work, not affecting the marine environment.
To ensure sustainable aquaculture and adaptation to climate change, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee requested that the two localities, based on approved plans, especially marine aquaculture plans and marine economic development orientations, need to develop comprehensive solutions to restore marine aquaculture in a more sustainable direction, especially in the current increasingly complex weather conditions.
